André Desmarais

I spent forty years in the travel business, and I founded the agency twenty-five years ago. A childhood friend who worked in the field introduced me to the profession.

Now retired, I'm still actively involved in the agency's accounting and administration. When I was planning trips, my favourites were corporate travel and tailor-made trips to Asia. The destinations I know best are India and Japan.

My advice to every traveller: travel light. And when they got back, what my clients told me most often was how happy they were with my service.
